Never Had A Date Night

[Verse 1]
Same couch
Same four walls
Happy birthdays
Through missed calls
All my weekends
Blur to gray
Every "maybe"
Fades away
[Pre-Chorus]
Is it asking for too much
To be circled on a calendar
To be picked, to be planned for
Not just "if I get there"
[Chorus]
Never had a date night
Don’t know what it feels like
No one saves a Friday
Just to look in my eyes
All year round’s a plain day
Like I’m easy to reschedule
Won’t you want me enough
To make me feel special?
Never had a date night
Guess I’m always extra
[Verse 2]
Cheap wine
In my one glass
Set the table
For a past
Scroll through photos
Other smiles
Matching outfits
Airport miles
[Pre-Chorus]
Is it something in my face
Or the way I try too hard?
Why’s my love a backup plan
Written in the margin of your heart?
[Chorus]
Never had a date night
Don’t know what it feels like
No one saves a Sunday
Just to sit by my side
All year round’s a plain day
Like I’m easy to forget, yeah
Won’t you want me enough
To make me feel special?
Never had a date night
Guess I’m always extra
[Bridge]
I’m not asking for a castle
Just a coffee and a call
Just to hear you say "I chose you"
Not "you’ll do if no one else can come"
I am more than just available
I am worth your favorite song
Worth a circle on your calendar
Worth a place where I belong (yeah)
[Chorus]
Never had a date night
But I know what I feel like
I could light a whole sky
If someone held me right
Every day won’t stay plain
I’ll believe I’m something better
Till I love me enough
To make me feel special
Till the first real date night
Starts with me forever (oh)

Intimate alt-pop ballad with female vocals, soft electric piano and warm pads. Sparse finger-snaps and a mellow kick build slowly under the verses; chorus swells with stacked harmonies and a subtle bass pulse. Bridge strips back to near a cappella, then final chorus blooms with airy reverb and a gentle vocal ad-lib tail., sad
